On June 20, 1975 a movie about an angry fish opened in about 500 theaters around the country. It was called Jaws, it was directed a guy named Steven Spielberg, it was scary as hell, and it changed the world forever. Its unique release strategy (wide instead of limited), intense television marketing campaign, and record-breaking box office essentially created the summer movie season (and made Spielberg a household name). 40 years later, regardless of its impact, Jaws remains a masterpiece, and a much better and more interesting movie than the vast majority of so-called summer blockbusters that it birthed.

We all watch the Oscars for different reasons. Some watch for the sheer spectacle. Some watch to see if the movies they like actually win something. Some watch so they can drunkenly criticize what everyone is wearing. But in the end, it all comes down to all viewers doing the exact same thing: watching people thank other people for upwards of three hours. But which people have been thanked the most in 86 years of Oscar history? Someone with a lot of time on their hands decided to figure that out.

We'd be the first ones to talk your ear off about the future of movies being given the TV treatment, but the latest entry makes the idea surprisingly literal. A new report suggests that Steven Spielberg has hired 'Godzilla' writer Max Borenstein to develop a TV series based around 2002 PreCrime thriller 'Minority Report,' but will the adaptation end up arrested before it even begins?

Halle Berry's buzzworthy CBS/Steven Spielberg thriller 'Extant' has barely shot a single frame, so little that a recent TCA presentation cobbled together footage from other movies as a teaser, but now we have something real to chew on. The first official teaser for CBS summer sci-fi drama 'Extant' has hit, and it's...well, it's still pretty confusing.

We knew CBS wasn't kidding around with its summer series after the commercial success of Stephen King's 'Under the Dome,' but the eye network's big buzzy sci-fi collaboration with Steven Spielberg just got a whole lot bigger. Halle Berry has signed on for her first regular TV role to lead the new astronaut drama 'Extant,' but what about the series will have audiences spinning?

During Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, guests were treated to a sneak preview of Steven Spielberg's latest project, another Presidential biography starring Daniel Day-Lewis, and you won't believe who's playing the Vice President...

Super 8 is an awesome looking movie that's been on my radar for a few months ... I hope it doesn't let me down. Here's the latest trailer for it!
